The Phat Tog Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Great stuff Amadeus. Love this old stuff. Rather than bloat the threads with loads of the same pics i thought I'd do a new thread for identifying the riders - for those of us that aren't on facetube.. Feel free to chip in and correct me if I've got any wrong! Neil Tuxworth - 500cc Cowles Matchless. This would be at one of the early runnings of the Classic MGP. Tuxworth went on to be the Honda UK team manager for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phat Tog Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Fairly sure this is Chris Faulkner. I discovered a puncture on my bike while on the ferry crossing to the MGP in the early 80s. Chris and his crew helped to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phat Tog Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Richard Coates - a pilot for Manx Airlines if memory serves. I think this is Alberto Pagani in the 1972 Senior TT - he rode the MV that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phat Tog Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 A bit of camera shake on this one but the name looks like Chris Fargher. Looks like a red plate on the front, so probably his newcomer year. Early Mick Grant. It's a 500cc 2 stroke so I reckon this must be the Kawasaki he raced in 1972 This looks like Luigi Taveri. Black plates indicate a 125 so I'm guessing it's the 4 cylinder from I think 1964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
